How about if we can put our location?

I think it's very neat to show people where we live!

Sorry, I took that out for a reason. Part of being on a board that is for kids 9-12 is keeping you all as safe as possible from cyber wierdo's. You would be really surprised how quickly someone could figure out who you really are and where you live if you give out too much information.

That is why our board rules say:

Can I ask for information about other users?
NO! Since betweentalk.com is for kids under the age of 13, you may NEVER, EVER ask for or tell your real name, place where you live, school you go to or anything else that would let someone figure out who you really are. This is for your safety. Not everyone on the internet is nice and not everyone is who they say they are. If someone asks you for personal information, tell them you cannot give it to them and report the issue to an administrator immediately.

You can read the rules by clicking the FAQ button above. Thanks for understanding!

That is a good idea. I wouldn't want anyone to really know where I live. It feels creepy.

are IM usernames considered personal information?

I would say yes personally but since it is an option to share them on your profile I guess it's ok?

When I looked at that I was thinking that if your parents have consented to you having an IM it is really no different to let you post it then a private message. Again, be very, very careful of talking to people on IM but that is up to your parents to monitor
